註釋

"Once in England, immigrants worked very hard. Some were peddlers and small shopkeepers, but the great majority worked as tailors, with varying degrees of skill and levels of pay, in the ready-made clothing industry which was rapidly developing. Their labour in small, crowded, usually dirty workshops became notorious as the 'sweating system' and drew extensive public attention. Work alternated between very long hours and seasonal unemployment and the Jewish labour movement, which professed revolutionary goals in its early years, sought with small success to improve conditions of labour and pay. It was more successful in Leeds than in London, but substantial improvements came with the Trade Board Act of 1909 and the massive strike of 1912.".
